To complain that Obama is showing pride in a part of his family tree, is being quite petty.

Those who actually read real news realize that they are opportunities to make trading deals with other countries leaders.
An example is Obama's trip to India which brought about lucrative deals for American companies and farmers. Presidents are on a jolly holiday when they travel. Sure, they mix in some fun, just like other leaders do when they visit here, but it about trade deals and improving diplomatic relations.

Today is a salute to the great contributions of the IRISH CATHOLIC AMERICANS to this country. Do US a favor and leave your politics out of OUR holiday.

It must really really suck being you! You complain a lot! Must be spiteful. Don't you have something substantive to critique?

had anything to say & All OF A SUDDEN
he is different from other Presidents?
NO,HE IS NOT DIFFERENT, he is not just traveling he's still a normal person
with Family.
How about you try to get up there and
try to handle this Mixed up country?
everyone needs to remember he walked into this maddness, our economy was jacked up by our last President, especially the Budget, Oh, but know
one recognizes that!!!!!!!!
President Obama has and is doing what
he said he would, and it takes more than
a week, a month or a year to do these
things, like our mothers say:
"If You Have Nothing Good To Say, Don't"

Every president has to do some traveling and entertaining, read your history. Obama isn't doing any more than usual.
